I met a black guy at a party who was from South Africa, and he said that under apartheid he would not be allowed to attend a party with white people. He said that racism in South Africa was really bad. He got a film made by Steven Spielberg, "Amistad," and he invested all of his money in McDonald's fast food restaurants in South Africa, and he hired his family to work at his restaurants to help his family. He smashed any notion of blacks in South Africa as being lazy, or being poor at business.

My thoughts on Africa, including South Africa, is that they can benefit from the rise of China, and they can do trade with China, and they can work together on projects, etc. The Chinese are not racist against the blacks, nor the whites, and there is no history of racism between China and the Africans. The Chinese can help Africa a lot, including South Africa.

Africa, and South Africa, needs to forget about the past and Africa needs to move into a good new future with China.

There are always going to be racists on both sides with the blacks and the whites, and people who want power will fight the two sides against each other to gain or retain power, progress has been made, but there are still problems, and the Africans are not going to have those problems if they focus on relations with China.

And people need to hear more success stories, to stomp out the notion that blacks in South Africa are incapable in any way.

‘Bury them alive!’: White South Africans fear for their future as horrific farm attacks escalate

NEARLY every day, horrific acts of rape, torture and murder are carried out on a community under siege. WARNING: Graphic.

LAST month, British woman Sue Howarth and her husband Robert Lynn were woken at 2am by three men breaking into a window of their remote farm in Dullstroom, a small town in the northeast of South Africa, about 240km from the nearest capital city.

The couple, who had lived in the area for 20 years, were tied up, stabbed, and tortured with a blowtorch for several hours. The masked men stuffed a plastic bag down Mrs Howarth’s throat, and attempted to strangle her husband with a bag around his neck.

The couple were bundled into their own truck, still in their pyjamas, and driven to a roadside where they were shot. Mrs Howarth, 64, a former pharmaceutical company executive, was shot twice in the head. Mr Lynn, 66, was shot in the neck.

Miraculously he survived, and managed to flag down a passer-by early on Sunday morning. Mrs Howarth, who police said was “unrecognisable” from her injuries, had multiple skull fractures, gunshot wounds and “horrific” burns to her breasts.

In any other country, such a crime would be almost unthinkable. But in South Africa, these kinds of farm attacks are happening nearly every day. This year so far, there have been more than 70 attacks and around 25 murders in similar attacks on white farmers.

Earlier this month, for example, 64-year-old Nicci Simpson was tortured with a power drill during an attack involving three men at her home on a farm in the Vaal area, about two hours drive from Johannesburg.

When paramedics arrived, they found three dead dogs, and the woman lying in a pool of blood, spokesman Russel Meiring told News24. “They used a drill to torture her,” police spokesman Lungelo Dlamini said.

What the White farmers need, as they await torture and death,...more guns, including machine guns.Need fortified bunkers, from which they can fire machine guns, missiles, etc.

Indeed it is.Politicians are as much to blame, for having done nothing much to prepare for the big one drought.Fools didn't build more dams, didn't pipe water from where it is...to where it's not, so crops could be watered and cattle/sheep fed.My no1 radio host has been telling them to, and how to...for at least 20 years.

'We are cutting the throat of whiteness' – Malema on plans to remove Trollip

Johannesburg – EFF leader Julius Malema has explained that his party is specifically aiming to remove Nelson Mandela Bay mayor Athol Trollip because he is white. "Because the mayor of DA in PE is a white man. So, these people, when you want to hit them hard – go after a white man. They feel a terrible pain, because you have touched a white man."
